Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

69: Chapter 69 Fu Feng’s Arrangements and Secluded EvolutionNot long after Yuan Feng returned to Luoyun Mountain, Chen Fufeng, who had just returned from Liming Market, couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. It was good that Yuan Feng and his daughter were safe.

He first went to the Back Mountain Cliff and met with Yuan Feng.

“Brother Yuan, how were the spoils of this trip?”

“Old Chen, don’t be scared.” After saying that, Yuan Feng tossed out a Storage Ring.

Chen Fufeng took it and inserted a trace of Divine Thought. He was immediately shocked by the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine piled up inside like small mountains.

“Brother Yuan, did you empty out that Purple Mansion True Person’s Immortal Cave?”

Afterward, Yuan Feng briefly recounted what happened at the Tianchen Lineage Blessed Land.

“So that’s it. I didn’t expect that to be a Blessed Land left behind by a Great Dao Lineage. It’s a pity Fufeng couldn’t see it with his own eyes; it’s truly desirable,” Chen Fufeng sighed.

Yuan Feng patted his shoulder: “That day will come, Old Chen. Once I reach the Purple Mansion realm, Luoyun Mountain can be transformed into a Blessed Land.”

“It seems Brother Yuan not only gained a great harvest from this trip but also made a major Breakthrough in Cultivation. Fufeng, on the other hand, lagged behind.” Chen Fufeng scratched his head awkwardly.

Yuan Feng waved his hand: “What are you talking about, Old Chen? There’s no need to be so polite between us. The Chen family and I rise and fall together.”

“Yes, we rise and fall together.” Chen Fufeng nodded emphatically.

The man and the ape chatted for a long time on the back mountain, discussing what had happened over the past six months.

Luoyun Mountain was developing steadily, and nothing major had happened in Liming Town. Neither Liming Market nor Luoyun City had any Cultivators causing trouble, which was quite good.

Among the Guest Elders hired by the Chen family to guard Liming Market, one Peak Qi Refining Guest Elder obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill and was currently in secluded Cultivation seeking a Breakthrough.

Although the immortal foundation formed by Breaking through using a Foundation Establishment Pill is slightly weaker than that of a Cultivator who breaks through normally, they are still Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, incomparable to Qi Refining Cultivators.

Chen Fufeng was somewhat indecisive. Currently, the Chen family only had Yuan Feng, a Foundation Establishment Great Demon, presiding over them, and no other Great Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment level.

If a Guest Elder Breaks through to Foundation Establishment, leaping from a Qi Refining Cultivator to a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, their status, position, and strength will all greatly increase, making it inevitable that they might harbor ulterior motives.

“Old Chen, with me here, even if he were a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Great Cultivator, he wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble.” This was the reassurance Yuan Feng gave Chen Fufeng, telling him not to worry too much.

An Early Foundation Establishment Stage Great Cultivator who broke through using a Foundation Establishment Pill could be killed with a raised hand in Yuan Feng’s eyes, no different from a Qi Refining ant.

Given his current strength, he could suppress and kill even a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Great Cultivator, let alone a mere Early Foundation Establishment Stage Great Cultivator.

Aside from this matter, the Spirit Rice previously purchased by the Chen family was successfully planted, expanding from over ten mu of land to a hundred mu, yielding three thousand catties per mu every half year.

Chen Fufeng also made a special trip to the Beast Taming Pavilion established by the Beast Taming Sect in Liming Town. From there, he purchased several Five Fragrance Yao Piglet cubs and several Precious Pattern Yao Cattle cubs, and simultaneously hired a Nurturing Master specifically to raise these Yao Beast cubs.

The Beast Taming Sect is a Golden Core Great Sect within Great Qi territory. The Sect has several True Monarchs who follow the Dao of Beast Taming presiding over it, and its headquarters are located in the Southern Territory of Great Qi.

The Five-Spice Demonic Pig and Precious Pattern Yao Cattle they breed are reputed to be the gentlest Yao Beasts in the world. Their flesh and blood contain pure Spiritual Qi energy without Impurities. If Cultivators consume them year-round, it can cleanse the Physical Body, refine internal Impurities, and strengthen Qi and Blood.

For those major Cultivation forces, immortal seeds must be nurtured from a young age. They have methods to detect whether a child possesses a Spiritual Root or Spiritual Body shortly after birth, thereby formulating specialized growth plans. The food they consume is Spirit Grain and impurity-free foods similar to Five-Spice Demonic Pig meat.

The descendants of ordinary forces, when young, mostly eat mortal miscellaneous items, which contaminates the purity of the newborn child’s Physical Body. During the Nourishing Origin stage, they must spend a large amount of time removing Impurities from their bodies, making it not worth the effort.

Chen Fufeng prepared for a rainy day and had already considered this aspect, which is why he vigorously planted Spirit Grain and spent a fortune acquiring Yao Beast cubs for nurturing.

In the future, the food consumed by the Chen family’s Cultivators and immortal seeds detected to have Spiritual Root Aptitude will gradually be replaced with Spirit Grain and Yao Beast meat, and they may even incorporate some Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine—this is the so-called dietary supplement.

Only then can the Chen family be considered to possess the air of a major Cultivation clan, truly differentiating themselves from mortals.

Since they claim to be a major Cultivation clan in the region, if the Cultivators within the clan eat only mortal miscellaneous items, wouldn’t that become a joke if word spread?

After arranging these matters, Chen Fufeng focused on Luoyun Market, the Cultivation market independently established by the Liming Chen family.

Currently, there are over a hundred Qi Refining Cultivators residing in Luoyun City. The highest cultivation base belongs to an Eighth Layer of Qi Refining Immortal Cultivator, and the lowest is merely the First Layer of Qi Refining. There aren’t many things available for trade, and there is still a huge gap compared to Liming Market.

Among these hundred-plus Immortal Cultivators, some moved here because they were weak and needed the protection of a major force.

Others moved in to Luoyun City to use the Chen family’s prestige to deter their powerful enemies whom they could not afford to offend.

Fortunately, the prestige of Chen Zhuxiao previously slaying the three Loose Cultivators remains, and for the time being, no ignorant Cultivator dares to cause trouble in Luoyun City.

This Qilin Son of the Chen family returned to Luoyun Mountain a few days ago. He had a new Breakthrough in his Cultivation of the Divine Thunder That Shakes the Universe Sutra, and this return to the mountain was to enter secluded Cultivation and Break through to the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining.

After arranging all the tasks, Chen Fufeng himself was not idle. Whenever he had time, he practiced breathing exercises and Cultivation. His Spiritual Qi refinement was now close to Perfection, and in a few days, he could enter secluded Cultivation, consume the red-patterned spirit jade ganoderma, and Break through to Foundation Establishment.

However, he still had one area of concern: the matter of demon slaying in Liquan Town.

Three and a half years had passed since the Jieyang Sect convened the Demon Slaying Assembly, but there was no news whatsoever from Liyuan Commandery City, making him wonder if they had encountered obstacles.

“Brother Yuan, do you think major forces from other commanderies received instructions from the Xuan Yuan Sect and collectively pressured Liyuan Commandery, which is why the news has been delayed?” Chen Fufeng’s tone was uncertain and apprehensive.

Yuan Feng shook his head upon hearing this: “Impossible. True Monarch Luge of the Xuan Yuan Sect was defeated. This Golden Core Upper Sect absolutely wouldn’t jump out and oppose the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion at this critical juncture. They still need to fully deal with the subsequent matter of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion establishing a Sect.”

“I think it’s likely due to the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect Vestige. After all, it was a Heavenly Sect founded by an ancient Dao Lord. Even a mere branch could make an Immortal Sect, which has a Nascent Soul Venerable presiding over it, feel wary, let alone a small commandery.”

“But then again, True Monarch Pivot Profound stands behind the Great Xuan Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, and behind this True Monarch stands the entire Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Perhaps the big figures behind them are communicating with the existence left behind by the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect... and haven’t been able to reach a consensus yet.”

There was one more thing he didn’t mention: perhaps all of this was related to Chen Zhuyun. He and Ruan Zhirou were the only ones confirmed to have entered the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect Vestige.

The Jade Blood Heavenly Sect Vestige currently appearing in Liquan is only the outer section, far from involving the core area.

But even in this outer section, there were Purple Mansion level obsidian statues guarding it, which was astonishing.

One must know that within an Immortal Sect presided over by a Nascent Soul Venerable, Purple Mansion True Persons are pillars of support, possessing noble status, and are not like roadside cabbages.

Theoretically, every Purple Mansion True Person has the qualification to seek Golden Nature; it just depends on whether they can Cultivate their Divine Ability to Perfection, survive the Heart Demon tribulation, and comprehend their own Dao during their lifetime.

In a Golden Core Upper Sect with a long Legacy like the Xuan Yuan Sect, besides True Monarch Luge, the strongest person is Great True Person Jingfeng. Below him are the various Purple Mansion True Persons, each holding important positions and being big figures within the Sect.

Reaching Purple Mansion is difficult, and achieving the Five Methods is even harder. Above that are Divine Ability Perfection, the unification of the Five Methods, and the Heart Demon tribulation. Only then can one sense the dao position and seek Golden Nature.

Cultivation in this realm is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

“Brother Yuan makes sense.” Chen Fufeng was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

The longer the matter of demon slaying was delayed, the more beneficial it was for his Chen family. In any case, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. A small Qi Refining Cultivator like him didn’t need to worry or fret uselessly.

“By the way, Old Chen, I plan to enter secluded Cultivation for evolution, which will likely take a long time. If the demon slaying begins during this period, act according to the circumstances.” Yuan Feng instructed.

Chen Fufeng nodded: “I understand, Brother Yuan.”

The man and the ape finished their conversation and went their separate ways.

Chen Fufeng needed to plant the Spirit Medicine and Spiritual Plants from the Storage Ring on Luoyun Mountain. Therefore, he needed to hire several Spiritual Plant Masters to open up medicinal fields and establish a medicinal garden specifically for nurturing Spirit Medicine and Spiritual Plants.

Yuan Feng, on the other hand, quickly climbed up a large tree and sat cross-legged on a thick branch. A familiar feeling came over him; it was still the most comfortable place to sit after nearly fifty years.

He closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling. The surrounding Spiritual Qi gathered into a huge vortex, continuously being sucked into his body and refined.

After adjusting himself to his optimal state, Yuan Feng took a deep breath, his gaze falling on the Bloodline column, and he thought to himself: “Add points!”

As the thought dissipated, the clan destiny points column instantly decreased by 96 points, leaving only four points.

Subsequently, a familiar mysterious energy suddenly appeared, surging toward Yuan Feng’s limbs and bones, flowing through every corner of his body.

The sound of a broken shackle came from the depths of his Bloodline, and a strong wave of drowsiness struck, making him sleepy. Finally, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep slumber.

The large tree seemed to sense this; its canopy rustled, subtly folding inward to conceal Yuan Feng’s figure.

In his sleep, Yuan Feng felt an unbearable itching sensation all over his body, like ants gnawing at him. Every cell in his body was cheering excitedly, and his flesh, internal organs, and bones were all evolving and improving.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A powerful and vigorous heartbeat echoed throughout the entire Back Mountain Cliff, like a Heavenly God beating a divine drum, deafening the ears and scattering all the clouds above.

As the heartbeat continued, Yuan Feng felt his consciousness being pulled out, traversing endless time and space, and descending upon a familiar place: the desolate ancient continent that had appeared during his previous Bloodline evolution.

This place was filled with desolate, ancient, wild, and unrestrained aura. Ten thousand species contended, and the fittest survived.

There were Golden Great Eagles, entirely golden and as large as ancient mountains, soaring with outstretched wings; black snakes covered in chilling scales, stretching for ten thousand miles, crawled across the land; and Roaring Apes, as tall as the sky, beat their chests and roared at the heavens, shaking the vast wilderness... A pair of eyes, large as stars, looked toward Yuan Feng. Chaos Qi surged, brilliant golden light covered the heavens and the earth, boundless Qi and Blood swept across the eight directions and six harmonies, and countless Legacy memories from the depths of his Bloodline continuously poured into his mind.

“Battle Against Heaven, the Dao of Defying Heaven!”
